Love in Action will help our parish to celebrate the way we are living our faith in the world, and to discover new ways that we can bring Christ’s love to our community.
Over six weeks we will explore the six guiding principles of Catholic social action, which all flow from God’s creation of us, and his continuing relationship with us:
Heavenly Father, help us to see with your eyes, to judge with the loving heart of your Son, Jesus Christ, and through your Spirit to put love into action. Amen
